Mineshaft, Creek front, Hot Tub, Close to Town, Ski Area 20 miles

The Durango Mine Shaft, a humble vacation rental in the Animas Valley in Durango, is nestled among some of the largest pines in the Animas Valley and bordered by a seasonal creek which can be viewed from the two decks or from the comfort of the hot tub. This home offers a true Southwest Colorado experience. Indoors, light a fire and make your gourmet meal in the kitchen with granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances. Days filled with activities will have you sleeping well in this home, which sleeps 10. WI FI and cable tv mean you don't lose touch with the world, unless you choose to! For booking information, and information about additional activities available, contact Scott at number listed below.

This home is a 1970's A frame style cabin that has an eclectic Colorado Outdoor Lover's decor. It is set back off the road, on a 2 acre property with an 8 ft privacy fence in the front dividing the shared driveway with another home. There are tons of hiking trails within a short drive. It is located a half mile from Trimble Hot Springs & Spa and 10 minutes to Durango City Limits.

This home is best suited for folks who want to gather together in an open floor plan, enjoy the serenity of the tall trees, play outside during the day in Durango's ENORMOUS backyard, and live the good life in the moment. This is our cabin in the woods that is close to town. It does not boast elegant finishing touches, suburban curb appeal, or the shine of a new home. But it has upgrades where we think it counts, is comfortable and unique. We hope you will enjoy it too!

Durango's Premier Sailing Adventure Company, Peaks and Tides, offers sailing charters for morning and sunset cruises, lessons, team building stay and sail packages and more with exclusive offers for Mineshaft guests.

Awful Experience
Pin link through VRBO takes you to the neighbors house which is extremely hard to get out of. The actual address looks like someone’s personal house (it is). You can’t see the “metal privacy fence” at night and you feel like you’re trespassing while trying to find the house. We tried reaching out to the property manager, Scott. We left a voicemail and a text after he didn’t answer. Scott responded 2 hours later with a text that didn’t make sense. House had mouse poop on the beds and unwashed sheets. We are extremely unimpressed with the professionalism of this property. We travel often for work and use VRBO all the time. We have never had an experience like this. We do not recommend this property

Quaint but interesting...
Nice, private and roomy. Met our needs and great overall location for our time spent in the area. Property just seemed "tired" and in need of some work. Couple of quirky items/areas (laundry drain, upstairs bathroom), but again, sufficient. Owner responded well to a couple of issues we had. Hard to find (or understand where to look) in the dark - better explanation on what will be found when you get there would have helped.

Not so much
Great location. Air condition was a smaller unit and did not cool the house so we had to keep windows and doors open. Each bedroom had its own air system and was good. Parking is an issue for 12 people but Scott was great helping work it out. The grills have holes rusted in the bottom but worked. The place served it’s purpose but would not recommend it.

This place was cool. Lots of spiders and I’m sure we had some sort of rodent as our food that was left on the counter had corners missing and chew marks on the bags/food. Otherwise this place was a perfectly placed getaway!!

The property was slightly outdated. There is a bit of a walk to property from parking. This was a chore hauling in and out luggage and kids things. Not much room for little kids to play outside and one area was covered with dog poop. Otherwise worked fine for what we needed.

Loved our stay. Beutiful scenery. It was a bit difficult for my 91 year old dad to get into the house; just for anyone with disabilities, a bit of a uphill path and 10 stairs up.

Family Vacation
We had an excellent time at the Mineshaft! The kids enjoyed the stream in front of the house, they loved hiking up the mountain behind the house, we all enjoyed the hot tub, and there was plenty of patio space for all 12 of us to hang out on. It isn’t too far from Durango (7 min.) or Purgatory (15 min.). If you are looking for a luxurious vacation home, this isn’t it. It is rustic and has character. It was perfect for our family. It’s not very roomy inside, but we spent most of our time outside and doing various adventures around the area. I will say, if you have bad knees, or if you are going with older people who don’t get around very easy, this probably isn’t a good place for you to stay. It is a short uphill hike to the house, and you have to walk up a pretty steep staircase to get in to the house. That’s not really a complaint, just a warning for those who need to consider something like that on their vacation.
